Every case is different, and no attorney can promise a result. What we can show you is the kind of work that produces one: motions that suppress evidence, cross-examination that unravels a report, and preparation that makes trial the better option.
The problem: Client blew a .19 and was charged with High BAC, facing 180 days and a year of ignition interlock.
What we did: Subpoenaed the Datamaster calibration and maintenance logs. The instrument was outside its certification window on the date of the test, and the operator class certification had lapsed.
Result: Breath result suppressed. Case dismissed before trial.
The problem: Client charged with a ten-year felony after a bar altercation. Two prosecution witnesses said he threw the first punch.
What we did: Preserved bar surveillance before the 30-day overwrite. The video showed the complainant advancing first. Both witnesses were locked into contrary accounts at the preliminary examination.
Result: Self-defense presented at trial. Jury acquitted on all counts.
The problem: Felony possession with intent to deliver following a warrantless vehicle search after a prolonged traffic stop.
What we did: Dash-cam timestamps showed the stop was extended 26 minutes past its purpose waiting for a canine unit. Moved to suppress.
Result: Most evidence suppressed. Felony reduced to a misdemeanor. No jail.
The problem: First-offense domestic assault filed during a contested custody proceeding. Client removed from the home on a no-contact order.
What we did: Documented inconsistencies across the 911 call, the on-scene statement and the written statement, and established the filing timeline relative to the custody motion.
Result: Resolved under MCL 769.4a. Probation completed, charge dismissed, no public conviction.
The problem: Felony firearm count carrying a mandatory two-year consecutive prison term, attached to an underlying possession charge.
What we did: Attacked the predicate felony rather than the gun. Three occupants in the vehicle; no proof of dominion and control over the console.
Result: Predicate dismissed; felony firearm fell with it. Mandatory prison term avoided.
